In presentation mode, press the B key to toggle between the current slide and a blank (black) screen, so that the audience pays attention to what you're saying when you don't have anything particularly stimulating to show them on the screen. Use PowerPoint for interesting visuals and the high-level agenda. If you absolutely must, show brief bullet points as you go along. But blank out the screen regularly and put the content into your oral presentation. ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
